  I’ve been messing with my new blog for hours and I can’t get even the simplest things figured out. Basically, I am just trying to get my layout set up similar to what you see on this blog: http://illwearanycoloraslongasitsblack.com/
  All the lists of links and images on the right of the page… that’s all I’m trying to do!! I paid for the CSS option because I have experience with it in the past, but apparently it’s been too many years to remember anything at all. SOOOOO if anyone can help me, please email me!!

  Thanks

  Your blog http://icecreamsnow.com/ doesn’t have any posts yet.

  And if you want to have links & images on your sidebar, you just need to use your Links Widget and Text Widgets. Click on the links to read through the support FAQ.

  arcadata,
  I think the OP wants some CSS help to style his blog such that it looks like the one the OP is referring to.

  truthbound,
  I suggest using the Firebug add-on with Firefox to inspect the CSS of the blog in question and then replicate the code in your own CSS.

  @truthbound: I’ve removed your email address as it’s not a good idea to post it in a public forum like this.

  Yo it’s me – I’ll Wear Any Color As Long As It’s Black. My blog is built with The Journalist theme and I customized the CSS using the Web Developer toolbar on Firefox. I just messed around with it until it looked how I liked, then saved the code and put it in the CSS box on WordPress. But as for the links, images, etc, all that stuff (besides the links and archives – which have their own widgets) is done with the basic text widget. Then I use html to put images there or whatever I want. Hope that helps! If not, feel free to email me – my address is on my blog.

  Since you’ve got past experience with CSS, you should pick it up again quickly. I recommend going through the resources listed at the head of the CSS forum.
